This was very tasty! Its the first time I've mixed fresh strawberries right in there with the hot porridge and they kind of melted and went all jam like. Plus I managed to get all the little bits of peanut butter from the jar which had also gone all melty!
I got to work nice and early, the sun was still shining but it had become really humid, I think we need a good thunderstorm. I've got a couple of days at work with no meetings so I'm desk bound which I don't mind as I have loads of office based work to get on with.
Mid morning I snacked on half a pot of cottage cheese and some red grapes.
Lunch was more chicken salad with sweet pepper peri peri dressing from last night followed by an apple.
Before I left work for the gym I had one of my home made fuel bars.
The gym was tough today, I was really feeling the heat. I did 15 mins of intervals on the treadmill working up to a faster speed again and I did my usual 15 minutes of intervals on the step machine, cross trainer and bike, and in line with my training plan I've been increasing the length of my 'hard' interval so I now do 90 secs hard and 30 secs medium. It really knackered me and I was sweating buckets. I finished off with my usual abs exercises. When I got home I actually started feeling a bit sick and faint so I wanted something to eat quick!
As I was wanting something speedy for dinner I had one of my Chinese Salmon Fishcakes from the freezer with some steamed brocolli and green beans plus half a baked sweet potato.
I totally inhaled this! Desert was some of my chocolate protein goo (a scoop of chocolate whey mixed with a little skimmed milk) but for something different I decided to pour it over a couple of pears.
This was delicious!
Drinks - water, green tea, decaf tea, decaf coffee
Thanks for the comments to my post yesterday, the gig I'm off to on Thursday night is Oli Brown and Joanne Shaw Taylor, they're both Blues singers and guitarists. I do like a bit of Blues music but its mainly the hubbys thing although I'm still looking forward to it, I love most live music whatever genre!
I've also realised that when I said I loved Jillian Michaels yesterday I may have been ever so slightly misinformed, I had only scan read that article in US Womens Fitness (I'm more of a look at the pictures and highlights kind of reader!) and missed on some of her more scary comments about not wanting to have kids to save her body and wanting to take over from Oprah! I still like her 30 Day Shred DVD and I think that she is amazingly committed to her goals and for that I find her inspiring, but she did come across a bit full on in that article.
Anyway, I've been spending all day trying to avoid finding out what happened in Lost until I get round to watching it on the Sky player later (I've had to avoid some of the US blogs just in case someone writes a spoiler!) At the moment we are watching the England Mexico friendly, I'm quite looking forward to the World Cup, I can happily potter about watching the footy. Are you looking forward to the World Cup or are you dreading it? Hope all your weeks have got off to a good start! x
